I follow her slow walking figure with my car. "Get in the car stella please your gonna freeze to death" Ryder says from the back seat trying to get her to get into the car. We have been driving for five minutes and she looks like she is drained like she's about to fall over.
"OK well I'm not asking again get in the car or I will get out and throw you in here" she stops walking and crossed her arms over her chest making me stop the car suddenly slinging Ryder against the headrest of the the passenger seat "shit" I hear him mumble as he pulls himself back up into the seat. "I will accept the ride on one condition, you cannot bombard me with questions" she says me and Ryder shake our heads in union. We will do anything to get her in the car.
She opens the door and sits down slowly while putting her bag in the floor between her legs. Her eyes are red and now the foundation that was on her eye is smeared I see how bad it really is. She sniffles from beside me as we turn on to her street. "Are you sure you want to go home?" Ryder asks from behind her seat. She nods her head yes. "Are you sure it's safe?" Ryder asks again. He is asking all the questions I want to know the answers to so I'm not going to stop him. "Ryder I swear to God if you ask me one more question I will throw you out of this moving car" she says calmly while looking out the front windshield. He doesn't say a word after that.
I pull up outside of her house and see a silver Lexus parked infront of her house. She scoffs from beside me "Do you think you should wait for this car to leave?" I ask as she opens her door "no I th-" she starts talking but immediately freezes as someone steps out of the house. I furrow my eyebrows at her actions. She slams the door shut slumping down in her seat and putting her hand on the side of her face shielding it from the person who is walking to his car.
"Go go we have to leave" she says while her chest heaves up and down. "Just tell me what's wrong" I say as she looks at me. If looks could kill I'd be laying next to my mother right now. "Just go to your house I will tell you everything I promise" she says looking at me with pleading eyes. She doesn't wait for me to respond she reaches over and puts the car in drive and grabs my knee pushing It down against the gas pedal which sends the car forward I grab the wheel and steer so we don't wreck.
"OK im going you can let go now" I say trying to get her hand off my thigh so I don't accidently cum in my pants. I know this is the wrong time to be thinking about that but every time she touches me it's all I can think about. I drive to my house while she is a mess in the passenger seat. She's breathing heavily and she's holding her head. I look in the review mirror locking eyes with a worried Ryder.
"Pull over" she says and I do as she says I stop on the side of the street and she pushes her door open leaning over and spilling the contents of her stomach into the dead grass. She leans back in her seat using the back of her hand to wipe her mouth. "Are you ok?" I ask She closes the door and looks over at me letting me know she's OK . I pull into my driveway and we all three get out making our way up to my room.
She lays on the bed in a starfish position and me and Ryder just awkwardly stand by the bed. She sits up crossing her legs over one another. She pats each side of her motioning for us to sit. "So I am going to start from the beginning but you have to promise not to freak out or tell anyone else" we both nod at her words. I sit and so does Ryder on both sides of her. "So when I was ten my mom,dad and brother all died in a fire I made it out they didn't. It was all chalked up to an accident in the end. I really don't know what happened if I'm being honest" she says running a hand over her face and letting out a shaky breath.
"I was put in foster care and was put through many different homes and was removed for many for different reasons that I don't feel like talking about" I see a tear leak from her eye and drip down her cheek. I reach my hand out and rub her back letting her know I am here for her if she needs me. I'm not really good with this emotional shit but with her it feels different, easy.
She looks over at me with a small smile her bottom lip trembling. She looks back towards the door clasping her hands together in front of her. "Uhh well lets start with the night at Tyler's party. I freaked out when he touched me like that for a reason! I don't share it with people because I'm afraid they will look at me differently if i do" she says I see Ryder look over her shoulder at me as she says these words. I feel my stomach twirl and my heart beat faster.
"My last foster home I was in was bad it was nothing compared to the one I am in now. I lived with a man and his son for four months. His sons name is ma-marcus his dad would always work which would leave us al-alone most of the time" her voice cracks and she puts her hand over her mouth as she lets out a small sob. I look over at Ryder to see his nostrils are flared and his jaw is clenched I match his appearance but I shake my head no swallowing the saliva that has built up in my mouth.
"He used to um do things to me even when I didn't want to...I mean it had happened before in other homes but...it was different with him it lasted longer...it was worse" she says reaching up to wipe away her tears. She talks about it so nonchalantly like it's normal and that makes me feel like I need to throw up.
"So the dude you saw leaving the house was....uh Marcus I assume he was there buying drugs from Billy" she says making my blood run cold "so he never got arrested for what he did?" Ryder asks. "No because I never told any one I was removed from the home because I wasn't being fed properly" she says laying back on the bed as me and Ryder look at eachother over top of her.
"We can get him arrested. My dad can help" I say just knowing that he is still out there and not suffering while she has all these thoughts and burdens to deal with makes me livid. "No we can't....I didn't report it when it happened it would be my word against his. If I wasn't stupid and just went to someone instead of hiding it I was just scared and hurt an-" she says but I cut her off "don't you ever blame yourself it wasn't your fault" I say as I'm rubbing circles on her palm. "Do you think he noticed me?" She asks and Ryder says "no I don't think so" twirling a peice of her brown hair between his fingers.
"And well when I moved in with Molly and met you two I thought that maybe once life was on my side but I was wrong because then Billy showed up" she lets go of my hand and brings the hem of her shirt up showing a huge purple and green bruise that covers most of her ribs. I look away from her biting the inside of my cheek bringing blood. This idiot better hope I don't get to him before my dad does. I stand up off my bed and walk over to the land line that is in my room.
I pick it up and start dialing my dads number. I hear her get off the bed and walk towards me "what are you doing?" She asks looking from the phone to me analyzing what I'm doing. "I'm calling my dad to let him know about Billy" I say putting the phone to my ear. I feel her grip on the phone before it's thrown against the floor breaking into many pieces "what the fuck about not telling anyone do you not understand?" She shouts at me.
My eyes glance over to Ryder who already has his phone in his hand working on what I was about to tell him to do. She turns to look at him. "Ryder you better put that phone down before I shove it so far up your ass th-" she starts but Ryder throws the phone on the bed holding his hands up in surrinder "ok ok"
"Why won't you let us tell my dad he will arrest him and you and Molly can go back to living like you used to!" "Caleb it's not that fucking easy. Every other time the cops have been involved in helping me while in a home I'm always moved. I can't lose you I can't lose Ryder or Molly I can't do it I will be place in a different home where I will still be treated like shit" she shouts as she paces my room tears running down her face.
"You don't know th-" I try but she cuts me off "and you don't know that I will be able to stay with Molly" she says slowly looking down at her feet. "What if I tell him and if he thinks it will put you at risk of being taken away then we won't do anything about it" I can visibly see her relax as she sits down on the floor pulling her knees to her chest.
